16. Apollo Crews

It's hard to get a read on what WWE have planned for Apollo Crews going forward.

His booking, up until a few weeks ago, suggested better days were on the horizon, as he challenged for the Intercontinental Title. WWE have since reneged on this. There has been media talk of a solid push in 2019, but we've heard such things before, and Apollo's main roster run so far shows a clear glass ceiling.

Crews is a talented, athletic guy with a great look, but his lack of natural charisma will always be a problem. He isn't headlining WrestleMania, and he isn't winning the Rumble.

Chances: Don't be silly.
